Big Black

Among other things, this week I finished up the largest miter I’ve made to date .

It’s designated Daed Toolworks M5 (but you can call it Big Black) and to be honest, I don’t really see myself making a lot of planes this size. At 9-3/4″ long, with a 2″ blade and nearly 7 lbs weight, this plane is a behemoth when put side-by-side with my trusty 1-1/2″ bladed M3 miter.

This plane was commissioned by a client who unfortunately passed away before it was completed, so I’m offering it up for sale here. Cost for this would be $2500 shipped.

C’mon – you know it would look great parked next to your hummer or goodyear blimp…

I make the hammers – they’re somewhat labor intensive, and I don’t love making them as much as making planes, so I don’t generally sell them separately but include them with my planes. They’re made of either naval brass or stainless steel, and have a replaceable rawhide head threaded on one side. The rawhide is the best and most non-destructive solution for the need to use a hammer on the wooden wedges of the miter and index planes.
